Murasaki Tsurugi is an explosive puzzle game in which you use chains of explosions to eradicate both enemies and their shots en masse. The game was developed by Katatema, known for their previously released indie titles Love Mochi, Irisu Syndrome!, Demon King Chronicle, and the previous entry in this series, Murasaki. The key point of Murasaki Tsurugi is how you eradicate the hail of bullets onscreen. Regardless of how proficient or inexperienced you may be with shooters, Murasaki Tsurugi is guaranteed to provide you with an all-new and amazingly fun experience.

As you shoot bullets to explode the blocks spread around the screen, the blocks will bump into each other and set off chain explosions, further expanding the range of your attacks. Use these chained explosions to rid the screen of the enemies and waves of bullets aiming to take you out as you guide Kairi and Satsuki to their destination. Additionally, the Collection system – one of the series’ main features – is once again present in this entry, allowing you to bring the whole story of Murasaki Tsurugi into shape as you fill up your collection while clearing the various stages.

While players of the original Murasaki will be able to enjoy this latest entry on an even deeper level, first-time players will also be able to immerse themselves in the story and gameplay and enjoy the game to its fullest. Please enjoy both the main game itself – created by the three original team members responsible for Murasaki: Tetsu, Yomogimochi, and Watson – as well as the original soundtrack and beautiful graphics. Additionally, you can now purchase the original soundtrack – containing all 18 tracks in their full versions – together with the main game as a set.

We are really excited to announce that two more Playism games have been translated into Simplified Chinese.

About This Game

A mystical world on the edge of destruction. Unlikely saviors joined by fate and duty. A mission driven by music, magic...and survival.

Murasaki is a hybrid shmup and puzzle game that creates intense and high-speed gameplay against a serene landscape with gorgeous music. With the ability to only fire a single bullet at a time, you must use cunning, angles and timing to survive. Random shapes will appear as the levels progress: these designs will trigger massive explosions when shot. If you can bounce corresponding shapes off of each other, they'll create a chain reaction that, with a little luck, will wipe the screen. Don't wait too long, because the enemies will overwhelm you in a second!If you can't get a clear shot, each character has a special attack with limited uses. Use them wisely to get out of a tight situation or to put the finishing blow on one of several bosses!

Characters

KairiThe older of the heroes, Kairi acts as a big brother, though he's not related to Satsuki. His movements are slow, but his long range shot can reach anywhere on the screen, perfect for ricochet combinations. This however, also means that you don't have rapid shots.Kairi's special attack is a spiraling explosion that reaches most of the screen. This bomb can absorb enemy's bullets and destroy multiple targets. Use it wisely.

SatsukiThe younger hero, Satsuki is impetuous and headstrong, and it shows in her attack formation. Satsuki can move across the screen quickly, but the range of her shots is very short. Sometimes they won't reach the enemy.However, using her speedy shots, you can bounce the explosive blocks farther than Kairi, which makes it easier to create a chain attack with other blocks. Just be careful not to bounce them too far, or the explosion won't reach the enemy!Her special attack is a cross-formation energy wave. It hits harder than Kairi's, but could easily miss if the timing is off. Use it wisely.

Find your center and get into a flowing rhythm of evading and exploding. If you can master the mechanics, Murasaki is insanely satisfying, mixing the mayhem and the tranquil music in a beautiful dissonant clash. Failure means death, swift and painful. Don't look at where the bullets in front of you go: plan for where the explosions will happen afterwards.

There is a long and tragic story within Murasaki: each successful (and even unsuccessful) chapter unlocks new information, history, bios and even musical tracks. To truly understand the full game, you must become an expert with both Kairi AND Satsuki. It's daunting, it's hard, but the satisfaction of a full unlock is unmatched.
